PRIME 650 W Gold

The PRIME Gold 650 watt power supply is built with highest level of Seasonic engineering, market leading technologies and top quality components. This super energy-efficient unit has an innovative fan control that will allow the fan to stay motionless at lower loads and only to turn on when higher temperature necessitates active cooling. Users of this power supply will enjoy extreme reliability and long-term usage. This product comes with fully modular cables that make installation fully customizable and allow for a neater setup and improved airflow inside the commuter case.

80 PLUS®Gold

Seasonic was the forerunner of creating the very first 80 PLUS® Gold certified power supply on the market and since that time it has built a very popular Gold series lineup that covers a full power range of power supplies with impeccable performance and efficiency. The highly efficient 80 PLUS® Gold certification guarantees greater than 87 %, 90 % and 87 % efficiency at 20 %, 50 % and 100 % operating loads, respectively. The clear advantage of buying a power supply with 80 PLUS® Gold rating is the fact that the less energy gets wasted during power conversion, the lower the operating costs will be for the user.

Fluid Dynamic Fan Bearing

High performance Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) fans are designed to take advantage of the impact absorbance effects of oil. They are extremely reliable and generate considerably less operating noise and heat than ball bearing fans. The lubrication of the bearing surface reduces friction and vibration and therefore lowers overall power consumption. Due to the effortless, quieter rotations and its robust construction, this reliable fan technology also greatly increases the lifespan of the fan.

How it works

When the fan shaft rotates, high pressure oil drifts along the grooves of the bearing sleeve to generate a thin layer of lubrication between the bearing faces. As the speed increases, so does dynamic oil pressure and the shaft is lifted from the bearing to create smooth, effortless rotations. The herringbone shape of the groves helps to efficiently channel the lubricant and avert leakage.
The following illustration depicts the main characteristics of the FDB fans:

Premium Hybrid Fan Control

Seasonic’s vast experience in designing the most silent and efficient power supplies on the market was translated into the development of Hybrid Mode; a state-of-the-art fan control that enables users to keep the overall fan noise at the lowest possible level.

Power Supply Sound

The Seasonic PRIME Series is designed with very favorable level of acoustics and it uses carefully selected components and innovative circuit design to minimize sound output. Beyond our rigorous internal tests, the power supply also went through external testing with the most popular graphics cards to ensure that the sound at all loads would be kept at the lowest possible level. The chart compares the sound level of the Seasonic PRIME power supply to other ambient sounds.

Micro Tolerance Load Regulation

Seasonic’s latest design keeps the output voltage within a very tight range, achieving under 0.5 % (1 % for 1000 W and above) load regulation. This impressive electrical performance and stability makes this power supply an ideal choice for high-performance systems.

Cable-free Connection Design

Seasonic’s engineers have implemented a new design feature, where instead of cables; the back panel and the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) are connected by a copper plate. This breakthrough solution not only lowers the chance of production errors during manual insertion but it also improves output power quality.

Multi-GPU Setup

Our power supplies are equipped with 6-pin and 8-pin PCI-E connectors to support all GPU platforms.

Gold Plated Connectors

Gold plating critical connector pins (motherboard, CPU and PCIe cables) extends the lifetime of the connectors and greatly increases the efficiency of current transmission.
